This romantic comedy, also known as What You Will, was first performed at Middle Temple Hall on Candlemas night, February 2, 1602 as part of the Twelfth Night celebrations. In it, Shakespeare uses the familar themes of shipwreck, mistaken identity and disguise to raise questions about human identity and whether gender and class status are fixed entities or may be altered with simple changes in clothing.
